I've seen some great-looking future roads made from ripped-up cork tile: it totally looks like shattered post-apocalyptic blacktop.

If you're using insulation foam as the base board, you can just use a block of sandpaper to sand in pathways wherever you like. Not good for proper asphalt roads, but excellent for dirt roads, animal paths, etc.
